"Still." Lian Yang said, "The director is not easy to see, you don't need to think about it, you know, he is very busy." ”

"I don't know if he wants to see me or not, my mother made a deal with demons, some people call them Demon Merchants, as if they nourished his enemies." Delia said.

"Hostile behavior is not tolerated, but your family doesn't seem to care much about the demon's hostile relationship." Ren Yang was curious.

"In my opinion, demons are more of a way of behaving than a racial type, and the worst of humanity are like demons. This can only be said in private, and according to my mother's knowledge, many worlds of intelligent beings and demons coexist peacefully. Just don't bother them. Delia explained.

"When he hears this, he will definitely arrest you." Rei Yang laughed.

"Hmm." Delia nodded, "He's serious, so I don't dare look for him." And you seem to be familiar with him. ”

"When he first arrived, it was overgrown with weeds, just a few of us, and it was a completely forgotten place. Don't look at everything clean and new now, it was no different from a garbage dump a year ago. So we cherish the current conditions and are willing to support this place. Lian Yang puffed up her chest slightly, and her expression was somewhere between arrogant and noble.

Delia guessed that it was still a long time before she learned true etiquette.

“…… I also cherish this place, there is a place to exercise, there is a library, my old enemies do not dare to rush here to kill, and when I get out of prison I will be stronger than I am now. Compared with the intriguing world outside, your situation is much sweeter. Delia said.

"How long is your sentence?"

"It's only 6 months." "That's why I'm looking for Zhang Su: I want to stay here for six years." ”

……

On the other side, in the office.

Zhang Su is studying the issue of mental health monitoring of witch prisoners, and is considering carrying out regular psychological education, that is, one-on-one interviews with witches every once in a while to solve psychological problems.

A soft sound caught his attention, and Mizuri appeared in front of him without warning, dressed in a ninja suit and hooded, with a grim expression and a letter in her mouth.

"Lord, the message of Chi Ze Jia Shi has arrived." Mizuri took the letter from her mouth.

The letter was still stained with corrosive sand from the erosion zone, and Zhang Su suspected that Shui Li had taken the letter from Akasawa Yoshiyo and brought it all the way with him.

"Thank you." The corner of the letter was wet, and Zhang Su opened the letter with his big hand and began to read it.

Message from the front. He thought to himself. The human army is getting closer and closer to the gates of hell on Mount Kagura, and the message described in each letter is harsher than the last, and perhaps the time for Armageddon is not far off.

He recognized Yoshiyo Akasawa's handwriting, elegant and powerful through the back of the paper.

Zhang Su could imagine the situation, she would sit cross-legged in her barracks, her brow furrowed slightly, and write down her observations and thoughts by the lamp.

If she made a typo, she would burn the entire letter and rewrite it without correcting it. There was no trace of alteration on the letter that Zhang Su obtained.

She describes the landscape seen at the front:

With the cooperation of the Fallen Witch Ivy, some vegetation known as the "Hell Yama" grows vigorously, it is as hard as a mountain, neither bullets nor napalm have little effect, and it takes a period of repeated bombardment with heavy artillery before it falls.

Such a jungle of steel grew around the gates of hell, severely halting the army's advance.

The demons continue to take turns against the human army, they come from the wider dimensions, so their numbers are endless, and they usually hide under the cover of the "Hell Yama Tree", and if any troops try to get closer, they will appear in large numbers and strangle the humans.

Yoshiyo Akasawa also writes about the high-ranking demons who are the mainstay of the legion.

Many "Demons" are entrenched on top of the Gates of Hell, and they are the long-range firepower of the Demon Legion, with a range of 40~60 km.

She saw with her own eyes that one of the cannons landed on a barracks on the front line, and more than a dozen barracks and 200 soldiers were instantly blown to pieces, and their souls were absorbed by the long-range projected orbs, and then those orbs of light returned to the Death Slayer, making them even more powerful.

If such monsters appeared in the battle of Momijiyama that day, they could have broken down the human defenses with a single shot, but now they have all appeared, focusing on protecting the gates of hell itself, making it especially difficult for humans to advance.

It would be nice if she could get air supremacy, but the fallen witch Peria Mancias, who is also a relative of Katy, became a real demon dragon after being exiled to hell, easily dominating the skies, strangling fighters who entered the airspace, and a large number of winged demons and dragon demons accompanied her to form air defense.

"It feels like trying to sweep water with a broom on the beach." Akasawa Yoshiyo concluded in the letter, "We have won many battles, and we can kill a hundred or a thousand demons in every battle, and I have already killed 1,700 demons myself. But the demons are endless. ”

"While we all avoid talking about it, we all know that Hell connects so many worlds, that many planes are conquered by them, and that the resources they can mobilize are almost infinite compared to ours."

"It's like running a marathon with no end. Nightmares appear faster than we can get rid of them, tell me, Zhang Su, how can I save us, save myself, save this war? ”

After reading the letter, Zhang Su knew that the actual situation must be more severe.

Yoshiyo Akasawa would not have described the bloodshed of the front line clearly, but he had read from the letter that she was in turmoil, and that each day was worse than the previous one.

The appearance of the Hell Yan Forest can be described as an impregnable wall to defend the gates of hell, Zhang Su thought to himself.

They are the product of the combination of Ivy the Plant-based Witch and demonic technology, and cannot be bulldozed with flames and cannons. If all the ammo is used on these magic trees, there will be fewer shells to fight demons, and Ivy herself will have to be defeated to remove the obstacles.

As for the more advanced Zombies, Flame Demons, and Dragon Demons...... The closer you get to the Hell Legion itself, the more powerful the demons will emerge.

“…… Based on what you have seen and heard on the front lines, how do you think the war between humans and demons will end? Zhang Su asked Shuili.

"Endure. War alone cannot be won, and I saw on the front lines that humans kill a hundred demons a day and crawl a thousand new ones from the other side of the gates of hell. Shui Li said.

"So to close the door, I'm paying attention to the delivery of strategic materials, the supply is not complete, but reinforcements from the entire Asia-Pacific theater are gathering, and in about 20 to 30 days, we can launch a general attack on the gates of hell itself." Zhang Su said slowly.

"General attack? That's Armageddon in the truest sense of the word. Lord, you will also go to war yourself. "Shui Li said.

"That's the time to get the job done. I'm against quick wins, but the status of the game is that we have to win the next big battle, or we'll be sitting back and waiting. Zhang Su said.

"Yes." Shui Li nodded.

All the power of human beings has been condensed into a punch that smashes into Hell, and if this punch is loud, it will make Hell tremble a little.

"Now, I have to write a letter of encouragement to Yoshiyo Akasawa." Zhang Su began to write:

"Seeing the words is like the face. I know the situation on the front, it is very dry, but we must have the idea that our spirit and character are better and better than we think. I can tell you responsibly that this is correct. The will is the only force that will not be exhausted, and it is the power that everyone will always have, and it will continue to be reborn even if it is exhausted. ”

After a pause, Zhang Su wrote about the immediate solution.

"Give Chloe some time and trust her, Chloe's ritual power can clean the battlefield, her holy water can cleanse the battlefield of corruption, and even turn the landscape into a consecrated land. It can speed up the recovery of the patient's wound and make the psychopsychedelic soldier feel sober. Then we will be able to see the magic of the bright, sublime path all around us, which is enough to motivate us to conquer Hell itself. ”

Finally, Zhang Su talks about humanity's hope for the fight against hell, which is what he learned from Kazama about the "Atlas Project" or Operation Deterrence. Due to the conditions of secrecy, he only revealed the situation slightly.

"The most important thing in the fight against hell is to stand firm and make the demons realize that no amount of fear will make us retreat or surrender. This involves three most important principles: the supremacy of faith, and the fact that humans and witches as a whole will never surrender to hell; The supremacy of strength has cultivated enough guardians of human civilization, each of which is enough to inflict a serious blow on hell, and even if humanity perishes, revenge will continue; We will continue to improve our scientific level and continuously strengthen our productive forces, people's livelihood and well-being, and the combat effectiveness of the armed forces. Don't be afraid of toil and sacrifice, I know it's all worth it. ”

Is that enough? Zhang Su thought to himself. sorted out the current situation, proposed solutions, calmed her emotions, and gave long-term strategic ideas. But it is not enough, and only on the day of the decisive battle, personally smashing the gates of hell, can the weight of these words be proven.

He wrote his name at the end, and the handwriting was also very convicted, although Zhang Su was a little tired, but his spirit was full of hope.

“…… Bring these words of courage to Yoshiyo Akasawa. Zhang Su handed the letter to Shui Li.

"Yes." Shui Li bowed deeply to Zhang Su, turned around and returned to the front line. In addition to loyalty, unity, and technology, Mizuri feels that there is one more thing that is essential in the fight against demons, but what? She couldn't.
